Vehicle hits a bump in the road and the check engine light comes on, followed by the gas pedal being non-responsive and an error code on the instrument panel saying “Brake Override System Malfunction. Check with dealer.” and “Pre-collision System Malfunction. Visit your dealer. ” When this occurs, have to coast the vehicle to a safe place, turn off and wiggle the Radar Control piece attached to the front grill sometimes multiple times before the truck will clear the code and accelerate. Been an ongoing issue for several months. Have replaced the front grill sensor and plate and the issue persists.

The cab vents failed causing water to soak the carpet and pad from the back wall to the front of the cab. Mold was growing through out the the cab. Carpet & pad had to be removed. This is a known problem by dealerships and owners of Toyota Tacoma. Because the water was under the seats, trim and weather mats it went undetected exposing us to mold. Problem was reported to Toyota dealership and Toyota Corporation. A case was logged 07/10/2026 as Case # 260710001840. The resolution offered was ordering and replacing parts. All parts required for repair and on backorder. Hundreds of orders for these parts in their system. Carpet and under mat had been replaced 05/02/2025 due to a Toyota recall campaign 21TD03.

WHAT FAILED: The clear coat finish on the exterior paint of my 2018 Toyota Tacoma has failed (cracking) in two separate locations on the same vehicle, indicating a manufacturing defect rather than normal wear. In late 2024, I discovered clear coat cracking on the roof and hood. I reported this to Toyota (Toyota case #241028000714) and paid approximately $2,000 out of pocket to have an independent body shop repaint the affected panels, as Toyota corporate declined to assist after the repair had already been performed. The clear coat is now cracking again at approximately 48,925 miles, this time on the cab in the pillar/trim area between the tops of the doors and the roofline. The vehicle and affected areas are available for inspection upon request. SAFETY IMPACT: This is a cosmetic exterior paint/clear coat defect. I have not identified any impact on vehicle operation, structural integrity, or visibility, and I am not aware of any safety risk to myself or others resulting from this issue to date. I am reporting it to document a recurring defect pattern on this vehicle. REPRODUCED/CONFIRMED BY A DEALER OR SERVICE CENTER: The 2024 occurrence was inspected and repaired by an independent body shop (not a Toyota dealer). The current occurrence has been reported to Toyota corporate (Toyota Brand Engagement Center) along with photographs, but has not been physically inspected by a Toyota dealer. INSPECTED BY MANUFACTURER, POLICE, OR INSURANCE: Toyota corporate reviewed photographic evidence of the current issue through my correspondence with the Toyota Brand Engagement Center, which I have asked to be linked to prior case #241028000714. Toyota has not physically inspected the vehicle. This is not a crash-related issue, so no police or insurance inspection has occurred. WARNING LAMPS OR PRIOR SYMPTOMS: Not applicable. This is a cosmetic paint/clear coat defect rather than a mechanical or electronic system issue, so there were no dashboard warning lamps or system messages

I was traveling southbound on I-25 when the flatbed truck in front of me came to a sudden stop. I was unable to stop in time to avoid rear-ending the truck. The airbags did not deploy upon impact.

The cabin pressure vents, located at the rear of the cab below the rear window on the body frame have failed. The seal on the exterior of the vents has dry rotted. This has caused an extensive amount of water intrusion that is undetectable until it has been present long enough to cause mildew issues. Being that water enters below the vehicle carpet and padding you cannot see it, your first warning sign is smell. When I began to assess the issue I pulled up my carpet to find standing water and mold. This is supposed to be a safe environment where I can transport myself and my family and I now I have to be concerned about mold inhalation each time my toddler sits in my truck. Toyota needs to do an immediate recall to the cabin vents and replace them with a product that can actually with stand the elements. Additionally they need to replace all the carpet, twill, and padding that has been compromised.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was an abnormal odor coming from the inside of the vehicle. While the vehicle was being serviced, the dealer discovered that the inner padding on the front passenger side, the rear passenger side, and the rear driver side was soaked with water, and due to the water accumulation, there was mold forming on the floor. The contact had placed towels to soak up the water while driving; however, the contact later discovered that the mold had spread to the towels as well. No warning lights were illuminated. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the rear cabin pressure bin needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

Paint has been peeling from door handles and front bumper

am filing this complaint regarding a power steering rack leak on my [2018] Toyota Tacoma with [83,000] miles, which I purchased used three months ago from Fred Anderson Toyota of Greer in South Carolina. The dealer represented the vehicle as having passed a 160-point inspection and implied CPO-level standards, but it was not actually Certified Pre-Owned. The steering rack is now leaking power steering fluid, with visible accumulation in the boots, despite stable fluid levels in the reservoir during my ownership. This issue appeared very shortly after purchase, raising concerns that it was a pre-existing defect. Power steering leaks can lead to loss of assist and increase crash risk if they worsen. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this represents a safety defect affecting Toyota Tacomas, as similar complaints appear common in owner forums

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that the brake pedal was spongy while depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure persisted, and the contact discovered oil on the bottom of his shoe before discovering oil in the driver’s side footwell. Upon inspection, the contact discovered that oil was leaking from the engine firewall onto the brake pedal. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was initially informed that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V888000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the VIN was not associated with the recall. The contact was provided with an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000.

The engine in my 2018 Toyota Tacoma failed at 39000 miles and Toyota is refusing to cover the repair costs. I have records of all regularly scheduled maintenance performed and I have never done anything that would put additional stress on the engine such as off-roading or towing. This engine is defective and should be recalled. There are numerous reports online of the same issue.

The vacuum pump. This vehicle was inspected by Dunn Tire. Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. The safety issue that occurs is the loss of power assist to your brake system, and if not repaired, can impact the camshaft or the oiling system. (Please see attachment).

The Break booster has failed or started since the break fluid is leaking inside the cab. And other trucks from the same year as my truck did have a recall for the break master cylinder failing. My breaks could potentially go out fully and I wont be able to stop. My problem has been confirmed by my independent service center. And also there's alot of other people having the same issue online. Since the floor mats show oil stains just like how I found out I was having a issue.It hasn't been confirmed by the manufacturer but I will be taking it soon to be inspection but since a recurring issue with multiple trucks online. I wanted to report it here so the recall could be extended to other trucks from same recall year. I noticed i was having a problem when I had to press down the breaks really hard to come to a stop. Then thats when I stopped and saw the oil on the floor mats. And my truck has really low mileage for the year and its safety concern to me and being that the replacement is really expensive just the part is around 1200.

Truck has strong smell of fuel in the cab

While driving I can here a ticking sound coming from the motor and it gets worse while I pick up speed

The brake actuator assembly is leaking brake fluid and is dripping onto the brake lever and onto the floorboard. This concern has been inspected and confirmed by a local Toyota dealership. This problem is a known safety recall by Toyota (Safety Recall J06).

The brake master cylinder seal is broken and causing brake fluid to leak into the floorboard of the cab near the brake pedal.

The 3rd generation Tacomas rear cabin vents (2 vents) allow water to enter the cabin because they are not tight to the body or sealed properly. The water leaks down the back wall and forward onto the floor soaking the carpet and padding underneath. The water in the carpet/padding has yielded mildew/mold throughout (water goes all the way to the front of the truck). The water also leaks through a floor grommet into a section where the cab mount bolts are and significant rust develops. Not only is the exposure to mold a health hazard, but the corrosion/rust on the cab mount bolts is a significant structural concern. There are many online posts with this problem, and i have just recently found this on my Tacoma. My vehicle has had the 3rd brake light recall, and this issue is completely separate from that recall. Toyota has a history on these vehicles not sealing them as they should. 1. The 2 rear cabin vents fail to keep water from entering the cab. I am happy to provide the vehicle for inspection. 2. Exposure to toxic mold is a health concern. Significant structural damage to the cab mount bolts is a concern if the vehicle were to be in an accident. 3. Numerous people online have confirmed this issue, and they have indicated dealerships are well aware of the issue. I put a garden hose to the back of my truck myself and saw water entering the vehicle. 4. Vehicle has not been inspected by manufacturer, police, insurance, etc. 5. Unknown when water leak first started. In the past 2 years i have started to notice a mildew smell after a rainy day. I am happy to provide additional photos, but the internet is full of this very issue. Please see the following sites with photos/videos/descriptions of other Tacoma owners having the exact same issue. Thank you very much for your time.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that upon retrieving the Carfax report after purchasing the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy, and the vehicle seller was not the title holder. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 32,000, and the contact later discovered that the mileage was over 200,000 through the Carfax report.    

The fuel pump as stopped working the vehicle will not start and the 4x4 is showing that it is not working. The vehicle is available for inspection. Thankfully this happened while the vehicle was sitting over night but we had driven it the evening before it just stopped running. the Fuel system could have failed while we were driving anywhere. It has not been inspected by anyone else. it is sitting in our driveway and my husband has done a lot of trouble shooting as to what could be wrong and all arrows point to the fuel pump. there have been no check engine light or nothing this came out of nowhere.

The master cylinder is leaking brake fluid into the cab and is dripping behind the brake pedal. There is brake fluid in the wiring harness that goes to the brake switch as well. This is a known fire hazard from other vehicle manufacturers.

After a couple of years of owning my truck, the paint started on my hood and roof started to turn white and fade. I don’t understand why Toyota uses this type of paint that’s going to get messed up after a couple of years. Also after 4 years of owning the truck, the suspension is all messed up (never took the truck off road or driven it anywhere else but the streets and now they make noises like crazy

Third break light has started to leak inside the cab of vehicle. Causing a wet musty smell, possibly mold, and staining.

The clear coat on the exterior paint of the truck has failed. This has left the base coat paint exposed which means the metal frame is susceptible to rusting now.

yes has been inspected by the manufacturer and they fixed it but I want to file a claim.

Paint defect Hi, This 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4X4 has a premium Cement Grey color. The clear coat from the paint is gone and it’s causing damage to my paint on the roof and doors of the vehicle.

On June 26, 2025, around 9:30 AM, I was driving my Tacoma on the highway at approximately 70 mph when the truck suddenly lost power. I was in the center lane and nearly got hit as I tried to exit the highway. After exiting, the engine warning light came on, and the truck eventually stalled. I was able to restart it with limited power and drove it to a nearby shop. The shop's diagnosis revealed several warning codes, and the fuel pressure was found to be only 14 psi. They recommended replacing the low-pressure fuel pump. After researching known fuel pump issues, I had the truck towed to a local Toyota dealership. The dealership confirmed the codes but couldn’t replicate the low-pressure reading after driving for about 30 miles. Because of this, they stated that it didn’t qualify for the extended recall offered by Toyota. Toyota refused to replace the pump, arguing that the recall had already been performed in 2020 and that the low pressure reading came from a non-Toyota repair shop. My response was: how can they be sure that the pump replaced under the recall wasn’t faulty as well? No answer In the end, I had no choice but to cover the repair costs myself. However, I made sure to get the old pump back from the dealership and documented its manufacturing details to support my claim moving forward.

The.truck won’t turn on. We checked it with a diagnostic tool and it was confirmed that it was the fuel pump.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, she became aware that the electronic power steering was not functioning properly, requiring increased effort to maneuver the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the rack and pinion. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA hotline for assistance. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown 35,000.

I own a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road and am experiencing a minor brake fluid leak within the cab which is leaking brake fluid from above the brake pedal. An independent mechanic determined the issue is associated with the brake booster and brake master cylinder which is related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V888000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic); however, the VIN is not included in the recall. No warning lights are illuminated. The leak was noticed at approximately 87,500. Vehicle is available for inspection and not yet inspected by the manufacturer, etc. The leak is minor now but believe it will get worse.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The vehicle was purchased via private sale via Facebook marketplace. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 57,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 254,000.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that upon shifting to drive and starting to accelerate, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear passenger’s side wheel. The contact became aware that the rear passenger’s side wheel was not rotating. The vehicle returned to normal functionality, but the failure became a regular occurrence. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the parking brake cable. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 68,000.

My 2018 Toyota Tacoma started showing a "forward collision detection system malfunction" "Contact your dealer" light came on that also indicates system is not on/functioning. I went to the dealer and was told the Millimeter Wave Radar Sensor Assembly #88210-04020 wad defective. My replacement cost and labor would be $1,543. I refused the service as I wanted to better understand the issue. I found that the exact item had fallen under a Toyota KOB recall. The same dealer had performed the recall in 2022. I believe the dealer should warranty the recalled part and service. It also appears the recall was performed incorrectly where a backing foam / seal that was to protect the sensor from moisture was installed incorrectly according to the recall recommendations.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while inside the vehicle, there was brake fluid leaking from above the brake pedal. Additionally, while driving, the brake pedal had to be firmly depressed to stop the vehicle. No warning light was illuminated.

The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

I HAVE HAD BELOW ISSUE AT 57000 MILES ON MY TACOMA. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT I AM NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY, AND COPORATE THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK BY SEARCH VIN, BUT ITS CLEAR IM EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS BELOW AND SEEING OTHER VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, SO ITS CLEAR THIS TRUCK WAS BUILT WITH THE SAME DEFECTS. The Plano, Texas-based manufacturer sent a safety recall report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stating they will recall 6,046 2018 Toyota Camry, 2018 Toyota Highlander, 2017 Toyota Sienna, 2017 Toyota Tacoma, and 2017 Lexus RX350 vehicles built between Oct. 2 and Nov. 3, 2017. Toyota stated in the report the affected vehicles contain brake booster vacuum pump assemblies with improperly machined oil galleys. The vacuum pump is supplied oil from the engine to seal and lubricate the pump vane’s movement. The defect can cause oil to not properly circulate through the system, eventually breaking the pump vane and causing potentially dangerous braking assist loss.

The brake system is leaking fluid in the cab of the truck creating a safety hazard; the brake fluid is a slick oily substance that can potentially inhibit the application of the braking system when the foot is applied to the pedal with the brake fluid on the pedal or picked up on the bottom of the foot.

The Electrohydraulic Brake Booster leak a Brake Fluid in the driver side Cabin near to Brake pedal.. This brake Fluid leak touch de floor paint and cause rust on the metal floor… eventually make the warning light on on dash panel and canceling brake functions and another think on brake system .. is a brake fail dangerous.. to much tacoma owners report that fails but Toyota USA solution is replace a Part but out of warranty ..

Unknown it changed and I have not kept track of new or old details.

Rodents ate through eleven soy base coated wires. These wires just so happen to go to the fob, my air conditioning, and one headlight. This is obviously a safety issue. I contacted Toyota and filed my concerns. They told me that there is nothing they could do. I at the least would like a reasonable explanation why they engineered food into their electrical system. Thanks for listening.

Motor tensioner bearings. All of the motor tensioner bearings have completely failed on this vehicle at 70,000 miles. All have to be replaced in an effort to avoid motor seizure and or other grave safety issues

The brake system is leaking fluid in the cab of the truck creating a safety hazard; the brake fluid is a slick oily substance that can potentially inhibit the application of the braking system when the foot is applied to the pedal with the brake fluid on the pedal or picked up on the bottom of the foot.

2018 Tacoma DC TRD Off Road, V6, hydraulic brake master cylinder, 49,000 miles: Brake fluid leaking into the cab of the vehicle beneath the brake pedal. Brake fluid is leaking from the rear of the master cylinder, running down the push rod and dripping off of the brake pedal bracket. Brake pedal resistance is slightly reduced. First noticed something dripping on my floor mat in April of 2023. I wasn't sure what it was. It never occurred to me that it could be brake fluid. There shouldn't be any vehicle fluids under the dash. There is the possibility of the system losing enough pressure that the brake system could fail entirely causing an accident and possible injury. (same symptoms as the recall for the vacuum boosted master cylinder-internal seal failure) This part should last at least half the life of the vehicle. 5 years and 49,000 miles is very premature for this part to fail. Took vehicle to the dealership. The dealership was quick to inform me that there are no open recalls on my vehicle, and this is not the same issue as the recall. I have a different style of master cylinder that is not affected by the recall. Toyota will not cover the failure. I should replace the entire master cylinder ($2100) and reevaluate. There have been no warning lamps, messages, or DTC's.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics, who determined that the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer, where it was also diagnosed and determined that the catalytic convertor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 106,000.

Vehicle stalling on freeway and almost crashed multiple times and dealership is saying they already fixed the recall on my truck but still doing same thing as reports say

Stalls when pressing down the acelator pedal from 0 to 30mph and takes between 2 to 7 seconds to ramp up the RPMs

Brake pedal went to the floor and I lost almost all braking, had to use the hand brake to get home. Brakes had been working fine on outbound trip, failed when preparing to return home.

Pulling vehicle into the garage on a cold morning (15 deg F). Hydraulic booster/brake master cylinder suddenly stopped providing boost pressure and brake pedal dropped to the floor. With no braking effort able to be applied the vehicle was driven into the house at slow speed. No hydraulic leaks are noted and pedal height and brake performance seems to have returned. There is fluid in the master cylinder reservoir and it doesn't appear to be contaminated. Braking capability returned after placing the vehicle in park and then reversing. Waiting for insurance follow up to select a collision repair shop and have the vehicle towed for repair. Dash cam video of the incident is available and clearly shows braking occurring and then the vehicle speeding up or failing to stop. Was unable to upload the video due to size. Photos are also available showing the damage and dry garage floors where the accident occurred. Vehicle is equipped with WeatherTech floor mats and I've verified there are no issues with mats and unattended acceleration with photographic documentation. I was the driver during the incident, am ASE Master Certified, and have taught automotive courses at the local community college for the last 12 years, worked as an automotive technician for 10 years prior, and work professionally as a Mechanical Engineer. Leveraging my experience, there is clearly a present concern with the hydraulic brake booster/master cylinder, particularly at cold temperatures.

My brake master cylinder failed on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The Toyota service technician inspected it and said it failed. My brake pedal went to the floor which affected my braking distance. There were no warning lights or indication that my brakes failed.

The mechanical design of Toyota's plastic visor assemblies that are installed in my Tacoma truck is disgustingly worthless and every last one of them will ultimately fail unless they are left securely fastened in the end visor holding clamp, permanently, and at all times while driving. That means not rotating them to shade a glaring sun through a door window glass. Toyota needs to redesign and replace all of their defective visor assemblies. The problem is with the rod holding design on the back side of the visor mounting plate. It is supposed to securely hold the plastic rotating arm from falling out of the mounting plate. It is wholly inadequate and will not safely support even the meager weight of the visor leaf itself. The only safe option is to leave the visor arm snapped into the end stabilizing/holding clamp. Mine dropped out of the mounting plate, twisting and dangling from the power cord wiring at a vulnerable time in moving traffic. It not only restricted my view, I was struggling to grasp the swinging visor to remove it from obstructing my view. All the while, steering with my other hand and merging into freeway speed traffic. It was a very serious problem at an inopportune and critical time. Since I was merging into freeway lanes from an on-ramp, there was no exit opportunity and stopping was not an option; all I could do was fight to avoid colliding with other vehicles. The hazard was compounded by a glaring sun that I was trying to mitigate by using the visor to shield the bright glare coming through the driver's door window. I was left purely with luck and good fortune; no guarantees at all. Compounding the problem was that it occurred during semi-rush hour traffic. It had significant potential of becoming a very serious life-threatening accident. I took the truck to my dealership for repairs but the only option was to purchase a duplicate assembly in excess of $400 U.S. Dollars, installed. Toyota needs to do the right thing and warranty all of them.

When I go to accelerate at low speed my vehicle shudders shakes and vibrates, no engine lights or codes have popped up, the issue is somewhere from transmission to the rear end. Im guessing transmission or torque converter. With my vehicle only having 136,000 miles and is well taken care of this is ridiculous, I have checked drive line and tires and everything seems to be working as it should so it has to be something internal

Factory paint peeling off

When accelerating on highway check engine light started flashing and engine running rough. Pulled over and stopped vehicle turned off ignition. Restarted vehicle and light was out no longer running rough. Toyota dealer checked computer, cylinder #2 misfired 47 times & cylinder #3 misfired 3 times. They said they could not find what had created this problem and still charged me for engine diagnostics.

IQ wireless charging pad gets hot pad has bubbled and dislodged from its place. Pad was replaced already for the same issue in Feb-2020. Now the same issue is recurring. The dealer said they had seen many more vehicles with the same problem. Charging pad gets hot when not in use. I contacted Toyota customer care to report and ask for advice, and they just said thank you for your feedback Vehicle is out of warranty nothing we can do about the issue. Explained this is an ongoing issue through this style of vehicle and should be noted or looked into as a possible safety concern. They said thanks for the feedback.

2018 2WD Tacoma. Auto transmission. Ever since new and even today, when traveling 30-40 MPH and slowing to anywhere from 10-25 MPH, and then trying to accelerate, the engine and/or transmission stumbles/hesitates for at least a full second, and then the engine races higher and a hard transmission downshift occurs jerking your head and body back and sending the vehicle into a fast acceleration.

Brake fluid is leaking into cab of the truck around the brake pedal area. Brake pedal needs to be pushed in slightly more than normal. My truck has the same issues stated in the 2018-2019 Tacoma brake master cylinder recall. As stated in the original recall braking could be affected which could result in crash. I called Toyota and explain the situation and all I received was “there are currently no open recalls for your vehicle.”

My 2018 Tacoma is experiencing issues with the transmission jerking and shaking. It is not safe to drive. It is currently sitting parked because we can no longer drive it. We are out of a car due to this issue. Is there anything that can be done to get the problem resolved?

The vehicle every time I fuel either does start afterwards or it would start and drive for about 3-6 minutes then it will stall. The very first time it happened was on the highway which I didn’t know why my car had stall but now that it has done it right at the fuel pump and also more often than not. I tried using other gas stations just to rule out bad fue but it has been like this for the past 6 month. I have taken it to Toyota MCDONOUGH in Georgia and they could not give a diagnostic because the check engine light does not stays on and they said they can’t replicate the problem.

The jack failed on this vehicle. I tried to jack it up off road as I got stuck on about 10 February 2021. The base got bent up and the next time I tried to use the jack I lightly dropped my vehicle because the jack was wobbly. I think immediately or some time after that I bought a jack from an automotive store and threw the jack that came with this vehicle away. I was definitely in an unideal situation and place to jack up my vehicle but my only other choice was to wait for someone to move it and I had no cell signal and I was in the middle of no where. The skid plate is dented and the vehicle itself has since been to a toyota dealer for scheduled maintenance and all of the tires have been replaced. Nothing was seemed to be damaged. But the jack was at a slight angle and the base was bent. I believe it is possible that this might be an issue for other owners of this jack component in their vehicles.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle made a rattling sound. Upon inspection, the contact noticed that the fuel tank cover had detached due to the well nuts being corroded. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

My vehicles brakes stopped working unexpectedly. The brakes would not stop the truck until my foot was on the floor which caused me to almost rear end another vehicle. They also locked up when I tried to stop. There were no warning lights showing before, during, or after the incident. The dealer has not had a chance to check the vehicle yet but there was a previous recall issued for braking issues for Tacoma's made between February 2018-November 2018, and my Tacoma was manufactured in August 2018.

Paint on hood is coming up.

The contact owns a 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that after her husband parked the vehicle at a private property and shifted into gear and releasing the clutch, the rear passenger’s side tire locked up. The driver stated no warning light was illuminated. The driver and his son manually replaced the 8 springs, 8 retainers, and 8 pins on the rear brakes. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 102,500.

While driving on 3 lane interstate, with the adaptive cruise control on, while passing a semi truck the front collision brake system activated. I was doing 72 miles an hour when it happened. The result was almost got rear-ended by another vehicle when my truck applied the brakes unexpectedly. The semi did not cross into my lane. My lane was clear. 0

The paint is peeling off the top sections of both of my trucks rear doors. The paint appears to be peeling away down to either the primer or possibly the bare metal. This trucks paint code is 040 super white.

My 2018 tacoma has recently started leaking from the ceiling of the cab in the back seat. It is dripping water from melted snow onto the seat, causing a continuously damp seat.

Driving down the road and was passing a truck. CEL and TRAC OFF lights came on and truck went into limp mode. Could not accelerate and truck was slowing down. Had to pull over turn truck off and restart and it ran fine until I duplicated the passing and push on the accelerator. Had codes check and was showing misfires on cylinder 3. I changed the spark plugs and checked the coils which were good. Next day was I was driving and truck had the same problems and eventually died and would not restart. I took it to the toyota dealer and they checked numerous things and had found #1 cylinder intake value was leaking. They suggested to replace the entire motor at a cost of $12,000. I declined and took it to another mechanic to see if the head just needed replacing. In that time I found others were having the same problem and it was a malfunctioning part in the intake manifold. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-tacoma-in-limp-mode-fixed.659782/ This is the forum were I found the problem and it fixed it. A piece of it was holding my intake valve open and that was the cause of it not starting and the leaking valve. I went and showed the Toyota dealer and they were not aware of that problem. I would like it to get posted so others don't get con into putting a new motor if it has the same problem. It seems everyone that has this issue is around 17 and 18 year models and all ranges of mileage.

Started noticing vibration on smooth roads a few weeks ago, as if tires were misaligned. Independent service center was able to reproduce the problem and found both rear shocks were cracked, with fluid leaking.

Two wires under the glove compartment start to smoke than I turn off the truck. Notice the wires burned. The ac no longer works

2018 Toyota Tacoma problem. I purchased the truck in October of 2018. On July 31, 2021 @ 3:50 pm While driving home I was in cruise control @ 82 mph when the display showed malfunction. The truck went from 82 mph to 60 within seconds again. A car behind me was able to change lanes to avoid an accident. The trucks display readings were Malfunction of headlight, radar cruise control unavailable & Lane departure alert malfunction and visit the dealer. After getting home I shut the truck off and restarted it. The malfunctions had cleared again. I made an appointment with the dealership for August 5, 2021.They worked with Toyota representatives to trying to solve the problem but couldn’t identify it. The conclusion was when it happens again bring it to the dealership (if possible) before shutting it off so they can do a diagnostic test while the truck is still running and showing the malfunction display. Luckily, when it occurred I was on a road with every little traffic. My problem now is that I don’t trust driving it using cruise control in normal traffic or at night not knowing if the headlights will shut off or the cruise control will shut down. This is the second time this has occur. The first time was in Aug 2019. I took to the dealer but they couldn’t identify the problem. My thought at the time was it may have been a one time event but it was not. I have pictures of the truck’s displaying the malfunctions on both events.

2018 TACOMA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, HESITATES AND MISSES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 35-60 MPH. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY. SLIGHT PEDAL AND LOW RPM'S IN 5TH AND 6TH GEAR IS WHEN IT'S MOST NOTICEABLE. ON OCCASION, THERE IS A MORE SERIOUS MISS, WHICH FEELS AS IF YOU HAVE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AT 50MPH AND THEN RIGHT BACK ON. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN FREQUENTLY, 4 OR 5 TIMES IN THE 20,000 MILES I'VE DRIVEN IT. THE SHUDDER HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY TOYOTA ON 3 OCCASIONS, AND HAS BEE SHRUGGED OFF AS A "TYPICAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE". TOYOTA NORTH AMERICA MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO SEE THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO RODE WITH ME AND FELT THE SHUDDER AND MISSING. HE HAD ME TEST DRIVE A 2019 V6 AUTOMATIC OFF ROAD AND IT ALSO HAD THE SHUDDER AND MISSING IN THE SAME RANGE. THE FINAL OUTCOME WAS THAT IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. THE FUEL PUMP RECALL WAS DONE. THE POWER TRAIN WAS RE-FLASHED. NO CHANGE IN THE CONDITION. IT IS VERY UNNERVING AND DISAPPOINTING THAT THEY CONSIDER THIS CONDITION ACCEPTABLE.

TOYOTA DEALER KNOWINGLY SOLD ME A 2018 40K MILES TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL REGARDING FAILING LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT CAN STALL AT HIGH SPEED. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE.

THIS WAS A RECALL DATED JANUARY 13, 2020. I FEEL DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS RECALL THAT A REMEDY SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED BY NOW. BUT RECALL INCOMPLETE AS OF 10/17/2020. SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR, WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE ENGINE MAY RUN ROUGH. THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. SAFETY RISK: IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

RECALL IS ISSUED IN JANUARY 2020, HOWEVER TOYOTA IS NOT MAKING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC TO REPAIR VEHICLE TOYOTA RECALL NOTICE # 20TA02

RECALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN REPORTED VIA PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS TO DEALERSHIP SINCE MARCH-2020 BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY ASSISTANCE ON MATTERS FOR TWO RECALLS, ONE IN DEC2018 FOR THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND ANOTHER IN JAN2020 FOR THE LOW PRESSURE FUEL PUMP.

I GOT THE RECALL BACK IN FEBRUARY FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THEN TO FIX IT.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY (SEE BELOW). MY TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY (PER THE INSTRUCTION OF AUTONATION FORT MYERS) SINCE MARCH 10, 2020. I WAS PROVIDED A RENTAL THROUGH AUTONATION IN FORT MYERS, FL (AT THEIR EXPENSE) UNTIL THE REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF MARCH, BEGINNING OF APRIL. THEN I WAS ADVISED THAT IT WOULDN'T BE UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER, MIDDLE OF OCTOBER. MEANWHILE, MY TRUCK IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ACCUMULATING ADDITIONAL ISSUES BECAUSE I WAS INSTRUCTED NOT TO DRIVE IT. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT MULTIPLE VEHICLE TYPES HAVE ALREADY BEEN REMEDIED AND THAT TACOMA'S HAVE NOT. JAN 13,2020 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: 20TB02 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 20V012 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SUMMARY THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING.

NOTICE RECEIVED IN JANUARY OF 2020 THAT MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCK HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP THAT IS LOCATED IN THE FUEL TANK (NHTSA SAFETY RECALL NO. 20V-012). IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2020 AND STILL NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. WHY HAS THIS PROBLEM NOT BEEN RESOLVED?

ROUGH START WHEN ENGINE IS COLD OR WARM

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW FLOW FUEL PUMP IN FEBRUARY OF 2020 AND THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WHEN IT WAS RECALLED BECAUSE IT HAS A CHANCE TO STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. AND PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE WHILE TOYOTA TAKES THERE TIME IN DEVELOPING A REMEDY. IT SEEMS LIKE TO ME ITS TAKING TO LONG TO GET THE REMEDY. ITS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

GOT A RECALL FORM TOYOTA BACK IN JANUARY ON A FUEL PUMP ISSUE AND HERE IT IS IN SEPT AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A FIX

DESIGN DEFECT RESULTING IN INABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. BATTERY FAILED (SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY) BUT COULD NOT OPEN HOOD TO JUMP START. TOW OPERATOR COULD NOT OPEN HOOD EITHER, SO VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. PER DEALER EMPLOYEE, DESIGN DEFECT RESULTS IN HOOD BUMPERS EASILY GOING OUT OF ADJUSTMENT, PREVENTING ABILITY TO OPEN HOOD. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IN A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT WHEN FUEL IS OR MAY BE LEAKING, THE BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO PREVENT A FIRE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OCCUPANTS ARE STUCK IN WRECKAGE PENDING EMS ARRIVAL. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME, LIKELY SAVING LIVES AND CERTAINLY PREVENTING CATASTROPHIC BURNS. THE BUMPER IS CLEARLY DESIGNED THIS WAY AS A COST-SAVINGS MEASURE, SO THAT THE BUMPER CAN BE USED FOR VARIOUS MODELS AND MAKES. THE BUMPER'S DESIGN HAS ALMOST UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENT, AND EASILY COMES OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. THIS DEFECT CAN BE EASILY CORRECTED BY SECURING THESE BUMPERS WITH AN ADHESIVE OR OTHER MEANS.

A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WAS IDENTIFIED IN EARLY 2020. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2020 AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE CAN BE SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME I CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR STALL OR POSSIBLE CRASH IF THE ENGINE QUITS.

SAFETY ISSUE WITH FUEL PUMP. STALLS WHILE IM DRIVING. WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT IT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO BUT HAVENT HEARD ANYTHING ELSE.

THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE IN ORDER TO GET OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. AS I TURNED THE WHEEL AS IT WAS IN REVERSE THE CAR BEGAN TO ACT WEIRD AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. I PUMPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE AND THE CAR PARKED BEHIND ME WAS HIT. I WAS GOING SLOW WHEN I REVERSED, HOWEVER MY WHOLE BUMPER SNAPPED OFF AND MY TAILLIGHT SHATTERED. THE TRUCK SEEMED TO HAVE ACCELERATED WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING USED....THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK JUST FINE AFTER, HOWEVER DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WEREN'T ANY CODES INDICATING A LOSS OF BRAKES. THERE WAS NO FLUID OR LEAKAGE ON THE COMPARTMENT EITHER. EVERYTHING WAS FINE I WAS TOLD, BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ADD UP FOR ME. THIS TRUCK WAS SECOND-HAND FROM THE DEALERSHIP, SO I AM NOT SURE IF IT WAS PART OF THE TRUCKS THAT HAD A RECALL ON BRAKES. THE CURRENT RECALL ON IT HAD TO DO WITH THE PUMP WHICH THERE IS NO REMEDY FOR.

VEHICLE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING. IS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THAT NEEDS REPLACING. I GET WARNING LIGHTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON. I ALSO GET A LOW FUEL PRESSURE LIGHT THAT ALSO GOES ON. I'VE GOTTEN THE RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AGO. AND EVERY TIME I GO TO TOYOTA FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY SAY THAT THERE'S NO FIX YET FOR THE PROBLEM. ITS BEEN A YEAR ALREADY. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR . FOR ME TO STALL WHILE AM DRIVING AND KILL SOMEONE OR ME. UNACCEPTABLE , AM SICK AND TIRED OF TALKING TO THE DEALER. THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO ATTENTION OF FIXING THIS DANGEROUS RECALL

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY CAR HAS LOST POWER AND STARTED IDLING VERY LOW IN TRAFFIC. THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TOYOTA HAS NOT FIXED IT.

THE TRUCK HESITATES AT LOWER RPMS AND FEELS VERY SLUGGISH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! SEVEN MONTHS IS TO LONG!

IN AUGUST 2018, I PURCHASED NEW, A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA SR5, 4 DOOR, 2 WHEEL DRIVE, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS/DELAYS/STAGGERS AT SPEEDS OF MID-30'S, MID-40'S, AND AROUND 65 MPH. THIS STARTED AROUND 8000 MILES. OCCURS WITH OR WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR 8 ASSESSMENTS OR REPAIRS FOR THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT CHANGE GEARS UNTIL 4000 RPMS WHILE I WAS PULLING A SMALL UTILITY TRAILER. WE HAD TO TRAVEL AT LESS THAN SAFE HIGHWAY SPEEDS UNTIL PULLING OVER. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE PROBLEM IS CONSTANT AND REPRODUCIBLE. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THIS HAPPENS IN SOME, BUT NOT ALL 2018 TACOMAS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

THERE IS A FUEL PUMP RECALL, THE FUEL PUMP DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY AND MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO FIX ISSUE IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 7 MONTHS.

IN JANUARY 2020 NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS OF CERTAIN VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ISSUES. IN MAY 2020 I WAS NOTICED MY MAIL THAT MY 2018 TACOMA TRUCK WAS ONE OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE SAFETY RECALL FOR A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM AND THAT A REMEDY WOULD COME SOON. TOYOTA STATES THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY SEPTEMBER 2020. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH FUEL PUMPS. ARE THOSE FUEL PUMPS HAVING NO ISSUES? IF SO, THEN HOW ABOUT REPLACING FUELS PUMPS OF EXISTING CUSTOMER VEHICLES.

AS OF JANUARY 13TH, 2020 TOYOTA ISSUED THE FOLLOWING RECALL INFORMATION ABOUT MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA (MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER20TB02/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER20V012): "THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A LOW-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY STOP OPERATING.

THIS MAY RESULT IN A VEHICLE STALL, AND THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNABLE TO BE RESTARTED. SAFETY RISK: IF A VEHICLE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THIS COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH." I FREQUENTLY CHECKED THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL (BOTH BY CHECKING THE NHTSA SITE AND CALLING MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS) AND AS OF TODAY, JULY 16TH, 2020, MORE THAN HALF A YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, THIS RECALL REMAINS UNADDRESSED AND IS LISTED AS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. GIVEN THE SAFETY RISKS, 6+ MONTHS IS AN INAPPROPRIATELY LONG TIME NOT TO OFFER CONSUMERS A REMEDY WHILE WE ARE STILL DRIVING OUR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO AVOID DRIVING IT WHILE I AWAIT A SAFETY REMEDY.

MY 6 SPEED MANUAL V6 3.5L TRD OFF ROAD TACOMA HAS HESITATIONS AND BUCKS WHEN YOU APPLY THROTTLE IN THE LOWER RPM 1000 TO 2000 RANGE TO ACCELERATE AND ALSO HAS POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN DOWN SHIFTING TO SLOW AND MAKE A TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET. YOU HAVE TO APPLY ALMOST 3/4 THROTTLE TO GET THE RPM TO COME TO WHERE YOU CAN REV MATCH TO THE APPROPRIATE GEAR. IT MAKES FOR A JERKY RIDE FOR PASSENGERS AND SEEMS HARD ON THE DRIVETRAIN. NO DEALER FIX IS AVAILABLE. CLUTCH PEDAL ALSO SQUEAKS ON WARMER DAYS. *TR

HITACHI SHOCKS CAN'T HANDLE DAMPENING REQUIREMENTS CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY - REDUCING TRACTION, BRAKING ABILITY, AND STABILITY. MY 10 YEAR OLD SON CAN COLLAPSE THE SHOCK WITH 1 HAND - NEVER MIND A VEHICLE THAT WEIGHS 4,000+ LBS. IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LOAD - WHEN HITTING A BUMP THE TRUCK BOUNCES DOWN THE ROAD - WHERE YOU MUST BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO KEEP THE TRUCK TRACKING STRAIGHT. THIS IS MOST SEVERE ON THE HIGHWAY. NONE OF THE VEHICLES WE HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 30 YEARS EXHIBITED THIS SEVERE SUSPENSION SHORT FALL. THE ONLY TIME YOU MAY EXPERIENCE THIS IS AFTER SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION HAS FAILED OR WORN OUT. NOT ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 30K MILES ON IT. *TR

2018 TACOMA TRD SPORT MANUAL TRANSMISSION - THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 - ENGINE HESITATION IN 1ST AND MOST NOTICEABLE IN SECOND GEAR. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND SURGES DURING LIGHT AND MODERATE ACCELERATION - FEELING LIKE AN EXTREME LEAN RUNNING CONDITION. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER PEOPLE AROUND YOU AT RISK WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OR HIGHWAY. IF YOU SHIFT A TOUCH EARLY INTO SECOND GEAR THE TRUCK OCCASIONALLY BOG ( STARVE FOR FUEL )HEAVILY - WHERE YOU MUST EITHER BE PATIENT, SLIP THE CLUTCH PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR HARDER, OR DOWNSHIFT. THE HESITATION IS THERE ALL THE TIME AND MORE NOTICEABLE WITH ANY LOAD UP ANY INCLINE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE DRIVER MUST BE PREPARED AT ALL TIMES TO DOWN SHIFT, SLIP THE CLUTCH, AND MUST KNOW ABOUT THE HESITATION. MY CO-WORKERS AND FRIENDS HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME AND CAN'T BELIEVE TOYOTA HASN'T FIXED IT YET. MY SON CAME HOME FROM DRIVING IT - SAYING ITS HESITATING SEVERELY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE DAY 1 AND GETTING WORSE. *TR

THIS WENT AWAY AFTER ABOUT 2 SECONDS. IT WAS LIKE THE VEHICLE SENSED A CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT I WAS GOING TO HIT BUT THERE WAS NOTHING IN FRONT OF ME WHATSOEVER. THE BRAKES NEVER ENGAGED BUT THE WARNING CAUSED ME TO JUMP. IF I WAS IN A CONGESTED AREA OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD HAVE CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OR SWERVE INTO SOMEONE/SOMETHING. *TR

IN DECEMBER OF 2019 MY TRUCK STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS AND NEARLY CAUSED ME TO REAR END THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME AS I LOST SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PRESSURE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ISSUE. ONE MONTH LATER, A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED. HERE WE ARE IN JUNE (HALF A YEAR LATER) AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY TRUCK THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. WHEN WILL TOYOTA BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE FUEL PUMPS IN THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED?! *TR

II BOUGHT THE 1998 TACOMA AT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN JOHNSON CITY, TN. IN NOV 2019--I SUSPECT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT IT . I AM 64 YEARS OLD AND TAKING THE TRUCK ON A VACATION FROM JOHNSON CITY TO EMERALD ISLE N.C. IN AUGUST 2020--VERY CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THIS TRIP--I ALSO THOUGHT I HAD A WONDERFUL TRUCK AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED HAVING TO DRIVE IT WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE-THIS HAPPENED WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE ONE DAY IN NOV. 2019

VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP SINCE JANUARY. SO FAR TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT TAKE 6 MONTHS FOR THEM TO FIND A FIX.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE I85 IN ATLANTA GEORGIA AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP

RUNS ROUGH, FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL WHEN I ACCELERATE. SPORADIC

I HAVE A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA WITH AN OPEN RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE SAFETY RISK IS THAT THE VEHICLE MAY STALL AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN JANUARY 13, 2020, BUT THERE STILL ISN'T A REMEDY TO THE ISSUE. MY DAILY COMMUTE IS ON THE HIGHWAY APPROXIMATELY 40 MILES ONE WAY. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN MY TOYOTA TACOMA AS THIS VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER. IT IS NOW APRIL 1, 2020 AND TOYOTA HAS YET TO RELEASE ANY FIX OR REMEDY TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY RECALL. HOW LONG DOES TOYOTA HAVE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE AND WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS AT THIS POINT WITH THE VEHICLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHNSTONS TOYOTA LOCATED AT (5021 NY-17M, NEW HAMPTON, NY 10958) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT A CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,100.

AFTER SITTING OUT IN SUB-ZERO TEMPERATURES FOR SEVERAL HOURS, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO START DUE TO APPARENT FUEL STARVATION. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS,AND REPEATED DEPRESSION ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL,FUEL WAS EVENTUALLY DELIVERED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA OFFERING ME $100 BECAUSE THEY 'ACCIDENTALLY' MISREPRESENTED THE SAFETY RATINGS OF MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE RATINGS WHICH WERE 4 AND 5 STARS ON THE WINDOW STICKER FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ALL CHANGED TO NOT RATED. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE THE VEHICLE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY RATING BY YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. NOW THERE ARE NO RATINGS OTHER THAN ROLLOVER WHICH IS RATED AT 4 STARS. I'VE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE WINDOW STICKER WITH VIN NUMBER BLOCK AS REQUESTED AS WELL AS THE PORTION OF THE LETTER THEY SENT. I CAN PROVIDE COPIES OF BOTH UPON REQUEST.. I'M SURE YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND A CALL TO TOYOTA WAS UNEVENTFUL AS THEY TRIED TO OFFER ME $100 TO OVERLOOK THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE IN THIS MATTER.

THE VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS AS IF THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM IS CUTTING THROTTLE INPUT FOR 1-2 SECONDS. THIS OCCURS IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SPECIFICALLY, IF ACCELERATING TO 10-15 MILES PER HOUR, THEN STOPPING, THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE TRUCK SUFFERS AN ENGINE STALL. THE TRACTION CONTROL DASHBOARD INDICATOR DOES NOT LIGHT UP DURING THIS OCCURRENCE; HOWEVER, THE ENGINE PERFORMS VERY SIMILAR TO INSTANCES WHEN THE TRACTION CONTROL DOES OPERATE. THE STALL ALSO OCCURS WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN INTO DRIVEWAYS, ETC. THERE IS NO REQUIRED INTERVENTION TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE; IT SIMPLY LASTS 1-2 SECONDS, THEN OPERATES AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS (BOTH TOYOTA). NEITHER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY ERROR CODES AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT REQUIRED SERVICE. THIS EVENT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES IN THE LAST 30 DAYS (DECEMBER 2019-JANUARY 2020).

THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) ENGAGES WHEN ROAD SURFACES ARE SNOWY OR SLICK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I CANNOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE. THE ABS TAKES OVER AND THE CAR COASTS INDEFINITELY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, AND HAVE NOW HAD THREE NEAR MISSES OVER THE LAST TWO WINTERS DUE TO THE ABS.

MY 2018 TACOMA HAD A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON, THEN THE TRAC LIGHT CAME ON. CRUISE CONTROL QUIT WORKING AND ENGINE RUNS ROUGH. WHEN DRIVING, VEHICLE BEGINS TO LOSE ACCELERATION AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING. WHEN IDLING, ENGINE RUNS WITH WITH A MISS, AND WHEN DRIVING, AT LOWER SPEEDS THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AS IF ITS LOSING POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM ACTIVATED WITHOUT A VEHICLE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LANE ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ALSO WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BILL WRIGHT TOYOTA LOCATED AT 5100 GASOLINE ALLEY DR, BAKERSFIELD, CA 93313, (661)398-8697, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TAKOMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING, A WARNING MESSAGE IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STATED THAT THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AT THE SAME TIME. THE VEHICLE LOST MOTIVE POWER. MARIETTA TOYOTA (750 COBB PKWY S, MARIETTA, GA 30060, (470)938-8430) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,039.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, AFTER THE VEHICLE COMES TO A CRAWL OR STOP AND THEN I ACCELERATE TO TURN LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HESITATES FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS BEFORE ACCELERATING. I TOOK MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA TO MY DEALER AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. A RE-SET OR UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE AT HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/3RD-GEN-STALLING-IN-INTERSECTION-UPDATE.459540/.

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE GONE OUT TO MY TACOMA THAT I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING ON IT'S OWN. I HEARD IT RUNNING ONE EVENING, WHILE NO KEYS WERE INSERTED AND THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED UP. THE TRUCK RUNS ROUGH MOST OF THE TIME AND I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING AND NOT WANTING TO START BACK UP AGAIN. IT WILL TAKE 3 TO 4 TIMES TURNING THE TRUCK OVER BEFORE IT WILL RELUCTANTLY WILL START UP. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE AND THE DIFFERENTIAL BUTTON WHEN PUSHED ON DOES NOT ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL. ALL OF THESE ISSUES HAVE STARTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING WHEN NO ONE INSIDE IT HAS JUST THE MONTH BEEN NOTICED AS WELL AS THE BUTTONS. THE STALLING STARTED TO BE NOTICED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS DUE TO IT BEING NOT BROKE IN OR ME NOT GIVING IT ENOUGH GAS, BUT IT IS ALMOST EVERY TIME NOW WHEN I BACK UP OR GO FORWARD IT CAN STALL.

THERE IS A LOUD WHISTLE THAT COMES FROM THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 55 MPH

MY TRANSMISSION ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T SHIFT WHEN IT SHOULD OR IT DOWNSHIFTS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. WHEN I AM USING CRUISE CONTROL IT'S STAYS IN LOW GEARS WAY TO LONG AND REEVES THE ENGINE VERY HIGH. ONCE I TAKE IT OFF CRUISE CONTROL IT GETS BETTER BUT STILL ISN'T RIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018.

WHILE DRIVING UNDER VARIOUS SPEEDS THE TRUCK WILL VIOLENTLY JOLT FORWARD. A STOP CONTROL MALFUNCTION WARNING APPEARS, THE TRACTION CONTROL, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE. THE TRUCK WILL IMMEDIATELY ENTER LIMP MODE WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO SHIFT ABOVE 3/4TH GEAR. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 8 TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY.

RADIO COME OFF AND ON OFF. THIS IS A DISTRACTION AS YOU DRIVE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RECONNECT YOU DEVISE

THERE IS A CLUNK NOISE COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE AT START UP. THE NOISE SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A STUMBLING CONDITION AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN APPLYING HEAVY THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOW VEHICLE SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING UNDER MODERATE THROTTLE AT APPROX. 45-60MPH THE VEHICLES ENGINE FEELS AS IF IT IS MISFIRING AND NOT RUNNING ON ALL CYLINDERS WITH A HEAVY DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE WHEN THE THROTTLE IS APPLIED TO INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED. ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP WITH MULTIPLE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS AND ALSO WITH TOYOTA CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A SOFTWARE FLASH TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT TOYOTA REFUSES TO OFFER IT TO CUSTOMER WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS BECAUSE THEIR TSB'S DO NOT LIST THAT MANUAL TRANS. THERE IS A 145 PAGE FORUM THREAD REGARDING THIS ISSUE WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE RESORTING TO FLASHING THEIR TRUCKS ON THEIR OWN TO AVOID THE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION THESE TRUCKS ARE EXHIBITING. HERE IS A LINK TO THE THREAD: HTTPS://WWW.TACOMAWORLD.COM/THREADS/SOFTWARE-UPDATE-FOR-THE-MANUAL.562550/ TSB 1 LISTING CONDITION: HTTPS://TOYOTATALK.COM/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2018/07/TACOMA-T-SB-0062-18.PDF TSB 2 LISTING CONDITION: HTTPS://TOYOTATALK.COM/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2018/07/TACOMA-T-SB-0058-18.PDF

3RD GENERATION TACOMA AC CONDENSATION OUTLET TUBE IS POSITIONED OVER THE TACOMA FRAME RAIL. THEREFORE CONDENSATION DRIPS RIGHT ONTO THE FRAME RAIL EVENTUALLY CAUSING RUST. I HAVE NOTIFIED TOYOTA OF THE MATTER TO REQUEST A FIX.

FEELS VERY UNDER POWERED FOR A V6 ENGINE. THE PICK UP SEEMS DETERIORATING AFTER FEW MONTHS OF APPLYING TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING UPGRADE. DOESNT FEEL CONFIDENT TO PASS OR MERGE TO A BUSY HIGHWAY.

I HAVE OWNED MY TOYOTA TACOMA FOR 18 MONTHS AND MY RADIO HAS HAD PROBLEMS EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT. TOYOTA SUPPOSEDLY HAS RAN TESTS ON IT EVERY TIME I BROUGHT IT IN AT 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGES AND TIRE ROTATIONS. IT STILL RANDOMLY CUTS OFF AND TAKES FOREVER TO COME BACK ON. IT ALSO WILL END A CALL WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE OR DISCONNECT MY PHONE WHILE I'M ON THE PHONE WITH SOMEONE AND WON'T CONNECT BACK. TODAY I TOOK IT UP THERE AND I JUST HIT 37,000 MILES TODAY AND NOW THEY WANT TO TELL ME I NEED A NEW RADIO BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AFTER I HIT 37,000 MILES SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. IT IS NOW BEING TAKEN UP WITH TOYOTA SINCE I HAVE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK.

2018 TOYOTA TACOMA I4, WHEN COOL OR COLD ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WILL STALL & STUMBLE WHILE ACCELERATING YOU CAN BE SMOOTH OR AGGRESSIVE & IT WILL OCCUR, IT HAS ALSO OCCURRED WHEN IT HAS BEEN VERY HOT OUTSIDE 85-95 DEGREES AND OCCURS EVEN AT NORMAL ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO WILL DOWN SHIFT TO 4TH GEAR FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE CRUISING @ 55-65MPH ON FLAT AND LEVEL ROADS, IT ALSO CONSTANTLY HUNTS 4 GEARS. I HAVE BEEN TO TOYOTA DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CANT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS A (4 CYLINDER) THAT THEY ARE NOT AS MANY ON THE ROAD AS THE V6'S MODELS SO TOYOTA ENGENEERING WONT EVEN LOOK INTO THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. THEY JUST SAY THAT'S NORMAL TOYOTA PERFORMANCE.

VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE BRAKE SHUDDER WHILE DECELERATING FROM FREEWAY SPEEDS. AS THE BRAKES HEAT UP, THE BRAKE SHUDDER GETS MORE AND MORE PRONOUNCED. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE ON THIS ISSUE 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. TSB HAS BEEN DONE TO ADDRESS REAR AXLE ISSUES, ALL RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND REAR DRUMS WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURER'S 2YR/25,000 MILE TOYOTACARE WARRANTY, BUT MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DRUMS/ROTORS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT SHOP AND HAD FRONT ROTORS/PADS REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE REAR DRUMS AND THERE IS STILL A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BRAKES WHILE DECELERATING. PLEASE ADVISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE SPEED ERRONEOUSLY INCREASED TO MORE THAN 90 MPH. ALSO, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AND DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN APPROACHING A SECOND VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHILE THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY DECELERATE AFTER THE CRUISE CONTROL ERRONEOUSLY DEACTIVATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER (CHATHAM PARKWAY TOYOTA, 7 PARK OF COMMERCE WAY, SAVANNAH, GA) WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED TO REPAIR A WAVE RADAR SENSOR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,957.

TAILGATE DOSE NOT OPEN AFTER A TINY ROCK GOT IN THE DOOR HINGE IT SHOULD BE RE CALL TRUCKS ARE MADE FOR HAULING . AND SHOULD WORK FIND SINCE IT'S ONLY 10 MONTHS OLD. IT'S A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA .

THE TRUCK VIBRATE AS IF IT HAS BIG OFF ROAD TIRES, THE VIBRATION IS VERY STRONG FORM 15 OR 20 MPR AT TIMES IS SO STRONG THAT THE DASHBOARD MAKE NOYCE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAKES NOYCE. IN THE MORNING AND SOMETIMES AT ANY TIME THE ENGINE IS KING OF MISSING FOR SMALL TIMES, MISSING , LIKE GOING AND STOPPING THE ENGINE NEASE. ALL THIS HAPPENING IN CITY DRIVING OR HWY. ALL HIS HAPPENS ON AND OFF .

HE TRUCK IDLE SPEED MANAGEMENT UNDER LOAD FROM COLD START IS ERRATIC. IF I PUT VEHICLE INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF GARAGE IDLE SPEED JUMPS 200-300 RPM AND JERKS BEFORE SETTLING DOWN. IF I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT CREEP SPEED (ENGINE AT IDLE) IDLE SPEED JUMPS 200-300 RPM. I TOOK TO DEALER 8/7/19 AND DEALER SAYS NO PROBLEM FOUND. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN COOLANT TEMP IS STONE COLD. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE NEW.

HAD AN APPOINTMENT TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL, SHOWED UP TO DO THE RECALL ON THE DRIVE, SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY CAN'T DO THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. WHY CALL AND EMAIL ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE TO HAVE ME DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD NO. WASTE OF TIME. THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE IS "SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPAIGN K0B (REMEDY NOTICE) - CERTAIN 2018 ' 2019 MODEL YEAR TACOMA AND TUNDRA - MILLIMETER WAVE RADAR SENSOR". I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE COME TO A STOP AND HAD THE BRAKE LIGHT ON IN THE MORNING WITH MORNING DEW, HAPPENED A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS.

POSSIBLE OIL LEAKS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIALS AND KNOCKING SOUND WHEN CHANGING FROM PARKING TO DRIVE AND TURNING THE WHEELS. SOUNDS SEEMS TO COME FROM THE FROM AXLE, WHEN STRAIGHTEN THEM . EX. BACKING UP FROM A PARKING AND TURNING YOUR TIRES, YOU CAN HEAR A SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT.

THE HOOD BULGE ON THE TRD HAS SEVERE GLARE WHEN THE SUN IS RAISING OR SETTING. MANY TIMES I HAVE ROUNDED A CORNER AND THE SUN REFLECTS OFF THE HOOD BULGE AND BLINDED ME. TODAY I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY OR IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY.

WITH LASER CRUISE CONTROL ON, VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY SLAM ON THE BRAKES AND RELEASE WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN FRONT OF IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 OR 9 TIMES IN THE TIME I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE IT AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO TOYOTA TO REPAIR A FRONT SENSOR FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE FRONT GRILL SENSOR AND THEY GLUED A PIECE OF RUBBER/FOAM OVER THE SENSOR. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. MY WIFE AND I ARE AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE THE TRUCK AND TOYOTA HAS SAID EVERYTHING IS OK. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS WITH LASER CRUISE ON AND SET AT 75 MILES AN HOUR TRAVELING UP A GRADE, THE VEHICLE WILL DOWNSHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR RUNNING THE TACH TO 300 RPM'S OVER THE REDLINE. TOYOTA SAYS THAT THIS IS FINE AND THE TRUCK HAS A GOVERNER TO KEEP THE TRUCK FROM OVER REVVING 300 RPM'S ABOVE REDLINE AT 5800 RPM. I EXPLAINED THAT IN THE OWNERS MANUAL IT SAYS TO NEVER RUN THE ENGINE TO REDLINE. AGAIN TOYOTA SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. REDLINE IS 5500 RPM.

PRE COLLISION SYSTEM CAME ON

WHEN SITTING ON A HILL, WHEN YOU MOVE FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS THE TRANSMISSIN (AUTOMATIC) APPEARS TO GO IN NEUTRAL AND THE TRUCK WILL ROLL BACKWARDS A WAYS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AGAIN. I TOLD A SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THEY ALL DO IT AND THERE IS NO FIX. HE ASKED ME IF I HAD IT IN THE MOUNTAINS YET AND I TOLD HIM NO AND HE SMILED AT ME SO NOW I AM SCARED TO GO INTO THE MOUNTAINS. THIS COULD BE A PROBLEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR VERY DANGEROUS IN AN OFF ROAD SITUATION. THE TECH SAID THEY HAVE HAD 4 OTHERS IN THIS WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY GIVE ME AN APPT. FOR NEXT WEEK SO THEY CAN PUT MY TRUCK ON THE LIST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JEFF WYLER TOYOTA OF SPRINGFIELD (2237 W 1ST ST, SPRINGFIELD, OH 45502, (937) 525-4642) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE ROTATED, RESURFACED, AND THE DRUMS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1905151322. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V888000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT REQUESTED DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON THE MASTER CYLINDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,900.

I JUST CALLED MY DEALER FOR A 6 MONTH SERVICE APPT AND WAS INFORMED ABOUT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SHOWN IN YOUR WEBSITE TOOL. MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2018 WAS RECALLED FOR "KOB MILLIMETER RADAR SENSOR" WHICH REPORTEDLY COULD AFFECT BRAKING. YOUR SITE IS NOT REPORTING THIS RECALL ON MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER IS.

THE CAR TAKES TIME TO STOP COMPLETELY AFTER PRESSING THE BREAK.

VEHICLE SURGES WHEN STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED, ALSO IS HESITANT TO SHIFT GEARS ON HIGHWAY. FRUSTRATING AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO DRIVE EFFICIENTLY WHEN YOUR CAR DOES NOT SHIFT AS EXPECTED. TIRING TO DRIVE IN THIS WAY.

THE CLUTCH FOR THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION STAYS AT THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED IN COLD WEATHER. BELOW 20 DEGREES F. IT BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR ALL TRAFFIC TO CLEAR BEFORE TRYING TO PULL OUT ONTO A LARGE ROAD AS I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR IF THE CLUTCH WILL ENGAGE. THE DEALER WON'T TOUCH IT AS THEY DO NOT HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND IT JUST TOOK OFF 'LIKE A RUNAWAY VEHICLE OVER 100 MPH" AND IT DID THIS TWICE.I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY APPROX 65 MPH. MY INJURY IS THAT I AM PARANOID TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK DOES WHAT IT WANTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO OVER 100 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUBURBAN TOYOTA (35200 GRAN RIVER AVE, FARMINGTON HILLS, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,500.

I FEEL THAT THE TOYOTA DEALER IN WAIPAHU, HAWAII IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN REGARDS TO RECALL NO. 18V-888. I RECEIVED THE RECALL REMEDY NOTICE IN THE MAIL, I THEN CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE VERY NEXT DAY ON 2/25/19. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND THEY HAD NO ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL FOR THE PART. I ASKED FOR A PHONE CALL THAT DAY TO SATISFY MY CONCERN ON NO ETA FOR THE PART SINCE THIS RECALL AFFECTS MY BRAKE PERFORMANCE. NO CALL WAS RECEIVED. ON 3/27/19, I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I HAD TO KEEP CALLING SINCE THEY HAVE NO IDEA IN REGARDS TO THE ETA FOR THE PART. SECONDLY, I CANNOT BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST SINCE I NEED TO BE AT THE REMEDY LEVEL. I WAS CONFUSED SINCE OUR RECALL STATES IT IS A REMEDY NOTICE WHICH I EXPLAINED I ALREADY HAD. I WAS PUT ON HOLD ONLY TO BE TOLD SHE MADE A MISTAKE AND THAT A MANAGER WILL CALL ME BACK THE SAME DAY. NO CALL WAS RECEIVED. TODAY IS 4/3/19 AND I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT VERY REASONABLE SINCE THIS RECALL AFFECTS BRAND NEW TRUCKS (2018-2019). HOW CAN THIS REPAIR BE PUSHED BACK WHEN IT AFFECTS YOUR BRAKE PERFORMANCE? SECONDLY, HOW CAN YOU SEND OUT A REMEDY NOTICE, HAVE A CUSTOMER MAKE CONTACT RIGHT AWAY, AND STATE THAT THERE ARE ALREADY NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL.

PRE-COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS FAULTY. THE SYSTEM ENGAGES WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO MERIT WARNINGS OR ENGAGING THE BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY. HOWEVER, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT ENGAGE WHEN THE TRUCK IS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE WALL OF A GARAGE. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THIS FEATURE AND IT WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH MAY BE FATAL.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WHEN THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY COLD AND SHIFTING MAINLY FROM 2ND AND UP, THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES WHEN GOING INTO GEAR. ONCE THE TRUCK IS WARMED UP TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPS, IT DOESN'T DO IT ANYMORE

WHEN BRAKING, STARTING TO COME TO A STOP AND WHEN THE TRUCK DOWN SHIFTS JUST BEFORE 1ST, THERE IS A VIBRATION BEFORE IT FULLY STOPS.

MY BRAND NEW TACOMA HAS A STICKING BRAKE PEDAL THAT STICKS IN THE PEDAL'S NEUTRAL POSITION. IT NEEDS MORE FORCE TO PRESS IT AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS ISSUE STOOD OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS ON A DIRT ROAD AND CAME ACROSS SOME ICE. I JUST NEEDED TO APPLY MINIMAL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM SPEEDING UP AS I WAS GOING DOWNHILL OVER THE ICE. THERE WAS NO AREA TO TURN AROUND IN THIS LOCATION AND WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK UP THE HILL DUE TO THE ICE. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT STUCK AT FIRST THEN POPPED DOWNWARD MAKING ME APPLY MORE PRESSURE THAN I WANTED TO. THE BRAKES ENGAGED WITH MORE FORCE CAUSING ME TO NOT BE FULLY IN CONTROL AS I BEGAN TO SWERVE WITH THE BRAKES LOCKING UP PRIOR TO THE ABS KICKING IN (TIRES LOCK FOR THE ABS TO WORK). I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND VOICED THE SAFETY CONCERN. THEY DID INSPECT IT, HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD EACH TIME THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONS AS IT SHOULD, PER MANUFACTURER SPECS. CASE FILED DIRECTLY WITH TOYOTA CORPORATE ALSO HAD NO RESOLUTION. ONE VISIT STATED ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE LOT HAD THE SAME CONCERN.

TRANSMISSION STICKS AT 3,500 RPM AT 50, FAILS TO PROPERLY SHIFT, HAS A DELAY WHEN TRYING TO ECELERATE, THEN A SURGE OF HORSE POWER AND STICKS AT HIGH RPM. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TIMING IS OFF ON AN AUTOMATIC. NOT EVEN 10,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A 5 TO 8 SECOND DELAY IN ENGINE RESPONSE THAT MAY CAUSE A FATALITY. TOYOTA CORP HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN HIS GARAGE, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A WALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO CROWN TOYOTA OF LAWRENCE (3430 IOWA ST, LAWRENCE, KS 66046, (785) 843-7700) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,500.

FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE ENGINE WHEN CHECKING OIL LEVEL ON THE DIP STICK WHEN THE CAR ONLY HAD 1,000 MILES.

ON THE REPORT THEY GAVE ME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT FIND ANY METAL SHAVINGS BUT ON MY FILTER I FOUND MANY, I STILL HAVE THE FILTER AND OIL JUST INCASE I NEED PROOF. TILL THIS DAY I STILL CAN SEE METAL SHAVINGS WHICH WORRIES ME I FOUND THIS IN OTHER TACOMAS TOO AND I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ALWAYS SAY IT'S NORMAL WHEN IT'S NOT.

AFTER SHIFTING INTO REVERSE FROM PARK AND START BACKING UP THERE IS A 'CLUNK' NOISE FROM UNDER THE THE VEHICLE AND 'CLUNK' HAPPENS AGAIN ONCE YOU BRAKE IN REVERSE. VEHICLE INCONSISTENTLY SHIFTS WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL CITY SPEED LIMITS.

VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL AND SEAT WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10-30MPH AND BRAKING BETWEEN 10-30MPH. THIS IS A NEW 2018 TACOMA ACCESS CAB WITH ONLY 4000 MILES. TSB 0171 AND 0023 ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM????

VEHICLE SURGES BETWEEN 40-50MPH, VEHICLE HE A 4 SOD AUTOMATIC WITH 2 ELECTRONIC OVERDRIVES, MONRONEY LABEL STATED 6SPD AUTOMATIC. VEHICLE STICKS IN IT LAST GEAR 4TH SOMETIMES LOCK IN 1ST OD RPMS ARE HIGH, MILEAGE IS 4 MPG LESS THAN LISTED. VEHICLE STUTTERS, DOESN'T ACCELERATE WELL WHEN TRANSMISSION LOCKS

HAVE NOT PAID ONE LONTH YET AND IT HAS 2000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON ROUGH OR SENI ROUGH ROAD THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION LIKE A RATTLE OF A CAN OR LOOS METAL PLATE. BROUGHT IT FOR WARRANTY CHECK AND THEY SAID IT IS THE BRAKE PADS BUT THIS NOISE KEEPS ON EVEN WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED.

SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING THE TOYOTA TACOMA V6 WITH 6SPD AUTOMATIC. SLUGGISH FROM A STANDSTILL, IF STARTING FROM A COAST, THERE IS A DEALY UNTIL IT ACCELERATES, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS ABRUPTLY INTO 4TH GEAR IF A GUST OF WIND OR ANY INCLINE CROSSOVER, BRIDGE, OVERPASS OCCURS. THE VEHICLE WILL LOCK DOWNSHIFT TO 4TH RAMP UP RPM'S TO 3300 AND ABOVE, AFTER CRESTING THE 3300 RPMS STILL OCCURS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY UPSHIFT INTO 5TH GEAR, BUT WILL HOLD 5TH GEAR AT 55MPH AND ABOVE SOMETIMES INDEFINITELY, OTHER TIMES, FOR MILES THEN SHIFT INTO 6TH, ALL THE WHILE DRIVING ON A FLAT SURFACE. IT IS UNSAFE, CANNOT PROPERLY TOW ANYTHING, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE MPG'S ARE SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN POSTED DUE TO THE DEFECTS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. TOYOTA FORUMS ARE UP TO 145 PAGES OF UNHAPPY TACOMA OWNERS SUFFERING THE SAME ISSUES, WHILE TOYOTA TAKES THE STANCE IT IS NORMAL. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR EVERY TIME I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY.

ACCELERATION DELAY/HESITATION, UNP? TRY TELLING A DRIVER WHAT TO DOREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS COMPUTER TRANSMISSION COMBINATION. I NOW HAVE JUST OVER 4000 MILES ON MY 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA OR 4X4 DCSB. PURCHASED IN JULY, GOT A SOFTWARE UPDATE IN AUGUST AT ABOUT 1100 MILES. WHILE THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IMPROVED POST UPDATE, THE HUNTING FOR GEARS AND WHAT GEAR DO I BELONG IN CONFUSION HAS NOT REALLY IMPROVED. I MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LIVE WITH SOME OF THE GEAR HUNTING/CONFUSION, BUT THE ONE ISSUE THAT JUST KILLS ME EVERY TIME, IS A DELAY FROM PRESSING THE PEDAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES WHEN I AM IN A COAST AT APPROXIMATELY 15-25MPH. I CAN LITERALLY PRESS THE PEDAL, COUNT 1, 2..AND THEN THE TRUCK REVS AGGRESSIVELY AND KICKS INTO GEAR AS IF IT'S NOW OVERCOMPENSATING FOR THE DELAY AS OPPOSED TO WHAT SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN SPEED. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT IT HAPPENS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT IT IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW AND IT HAS NEVER IMPROVED POST UPDATE. AND ONCE AND JUST ONCE, I PRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT JUST DIDN'T REACT AT ALL, IT WAS JUST DEAD, THEN I RELEASED IT AND PRESSED AGAIN AND IT ACCELERATED. I HAVE NEVER IN MY ENTIRE 24 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCED A DEAD PEDAL UNTIL THIS BRAND NEW 2018 TACOMA. THE UPDATE I AM REFERENCING FLASHES THE COMPUTER OF THE TRUCK AND THE SAME CALIBRATION ID WAS RELEASED TO COMBAT A NUMBER OF ISSUES KNOWN BY TOYOTA. THE TOYOTA SERVICE BULLETIN ID'S FOR THIS UPDATE ARE 0062-18, 0058-18, 0125-18.

CROSSING STREET GOING STRAIGHT EASTBOUND ON GREEN LIGHT, ROAD CONSTRUCTION GOING ON. TRUCK STOPPED COMPLETELY ON MIDDLE OF ROAD, THINKING THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO VEHICLE IN FRONT JUST SHADOW OF THE BRIDGE, THAT MADE CAR STOP AUTOMATICALLY. BY THEN NORTH TRAFFIC STARTED MOVING GOT HIT. WERE IN A 5 VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

TRANSMISSION LOCKS OUT IN 4TH GEAR, MID SPEED SURGE, SURGE AT IDLE WHEN TURNING THE WHEELS. CRUISE CONTROL DOESN'T FUNCTION IT WILL INCREASE RPM'S ON A FLAT ROAD.

TOYOTA HAS AN ISSUE WHERE THERE SERVICE TECHNITIANS, DEALERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NHTSA MANDATED SEAT BELT INDICATORS AND OPTIONAL INDICATORS. I HAVE REPORTED AN ISSUE WHERE THE SEAT WILL NOT SLIDE CORRECTLY AND THAT THE SEAT BELT SENSOR AND OPTIONAL ALERT SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. THE OPTIONAL SEAT BELT INDICATOR MALFUNCTIONS AND CAUSES A PROLONGED AUDIO DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER THAT INTERFERES WITH THE ROLL THAT OTHER SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS REVERSE SENSORS, ETC. CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED. TOYOTA ALLOWS THE DEALER TO TURN OFF THE DISTRACTING OPTIONAL CHIMES, BUT THE DISCRETION IS LEFT TO THE DEALER AND NOT THE DRIVER WHICH POSES RISK TO PEDESTRIANS, DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. THE MAJOR PROBLEM IS THAT THE FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MANDATORY ALERT SYSTEM AND THE OPTIONAL ALERT SYSTEM MEANS THAT DEALERS ARE IGNORING CUSTOMER REQUESTS TO MUTE THE OPTIONAL ALARM INCREASING THE RISK OF DISTRACTION TO AN UNACCEPTABLE LEVEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER KNOB BECAME LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEWART TOYOTA (LOCATED AT 3400 I-145, CORSICANA, TX 75110, (903) 874-6556) AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145.

I WAS DRIVING WITH ALL TSS (TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE) SYSTEMS ENABLED (AS IS THE ONLY DEFAULT SETTING ON THIS TRUCK) WITH THREE PASSENGERS (MY YOUNG FAMILY) AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON A SOMEWHAT CURVY MOUNTAIN ROAD. THE TRUCK'S PCS (PRE COLLISION SYSTEM) SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES ERRONEOUSLY WHEN A CAR (NOT IN MY PATH OR LANE) ON A CURVE WAS SLOWING TO TURN OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THE TRUCK DROPPED SPEED RAPIDLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY UNTIL I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR HARD, AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A REAR END COLLISION HAD ANOTHER VEHICLE BEEN FOLLOWING ME. THE TOYOTA PCS SYSTEM IS NOT READY TO BE USED SAFELY ON PUBLIC ROADS, AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OR DISABLED EASILY AS A DEFAULT SETTING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE VIBRATES. WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE REAR AXLE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS RECALLED BY TOYOTA. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND CONTINUES TO PUT THESE VEHICLES OUT IN PUBLIC WITH NO DISCLOSURE TO THE CONSUMER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTOLAND TOYOTA (170 US 22, SPRINGFIELD, NJ 07081), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

THE 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA HAS A PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM THAT DOES NOTHING MORE THAN BEEP LOUDLY AT THE DRIVER WHEN IT "THINKS" I NEED TO BRAKE. IT IS OVERLY SENSITIVE AND SERVES AS A DANGEROUS DISTRACTION WHENEVER I AM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AS AN EXAMPLE, ON TIGHT CITY ROADS WITH CARS PARKED ON BOTH SIDES IT DETECTS THE CARS ON BOTH SIDES AND CONSTANTLY GOES OFF. IT DETECTS GUARDRAILS AND SIGNAGE ON CURVES. I WAS TOLD BEFORE I BOUGHT IT THAT IT CAN BE SHUT OFF, BUT THAT WAS NOT REALLY TRUE. IT CAN ONLY BE TURNED OFF FOR THE DURATION OF THE DRIVE. IT RESETS TO ON AT FULL SENSITIVITY WHENEVER I RESTART THE TRUCK. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE, AS IT DISTRACTS ME IN TRAFFIC AND DRAWS MY ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TO THE DASHBOARD EVERY TIME IT BEEPS. SO, I HAVE TO GO INTO THE DASH MENU AND SHUT IF OFF EVERY TIME I START THE CAR, OR I'M FORCED TO FIDDLE WITH IT ON THE FLY IN TRAFFIC. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE TO PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN A VEHICLE AND NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER THE OPTION TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE IT. I COMPLAINED TO TOYOTA (CASE#1807122684) AND TOLD THEM THAT THIS REPRESENTS A SERIOUS DEFECT/DESIGN FLAW AND THAT EVENTUALLY IT WAS GOING TO CAUSE ME OR SOMEONE ELSE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THEY DIDN'T CARE. THEY MAINTAIN THAT SOMEHOW CONSTANTLY DISTRACTING THE DRIVER IS A SAFETY FEATURE AND THAT THE TRUCK IS SUPPOSED TO DO THIS. AS MORE OF THESE FEATURES BECOME STANDARD THE NTSB HAS TO REGULATE THEM AND FORCE MANUFACTURERS TO CONSIDER THAT NOT ALL DRIVERS ARE THE SAME. THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY SENSITIVE TO BEEPS AND ALARMS AND THESE DEVICES ARE THE OPPOSITE OF HELPFUL IN THOSE CASES. THEY ARE DANGEROUS. MAYBE THIS "FEATURE" HELPS SOME DRIVERS, BUT TO ME IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A WAY FOR THE DRIVER TO PERMANENTLY DISABLE THESE TYPES OF FEATURES AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE

BOUGHT TRUCK BRAND NEW. WITHIN A COUPLES OF WEEKS NOTICED RANDOM SHUDDERING VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOT AROUND 35-45 MPH. TOOK IT TO TOYOTA. THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT IMITATE THE ISSUE. SHUDDERING IS WORSE AND CONSISTENT AROUND 35-50 MPH. CURRENTLY AROUND 2000 MILES ON ODOMETER. SCHEDULED ANOTHER APPT WITH TOYOTA THIS WEEK.

AROUND 12:30PM ON 6/28 MY TOYOTA TACOMA 2018 VIN# [XXX] STARTED TO BLINK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT WAS FOLLOW BY THE ENGINE SHAKING AND NOT TAKING GEARS UP THEREFORE VERY SLOWLY ACCELERATING UP TO THE 40MPH. SEEING ALL THIS I DECIDED TO HEAD TO THE DEALERSHIP BIG HORN IN GLENWOOD SPRINGS, CO AT ABOUT 1:00PM FROM MY HOUSE IN BASALT, CO. BUT AS THE PROBLEM PERSISTED I HAD TO STOP IN EL JEBEL, CO AND CALL BOTH THE DEALER AND TOYOTA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO RECEIVE SERVICE FROM BOB ADAMS TRUCKING RESULTED IN A TWO HOUR WASTE OF TIME, BY THEM CANCELING SERVICE AND SAYING IT WAS ME WHO CANCEL. BY THIS TIME I ALREADY SPOKE TO BOTH DAWN AT SERVICE AND GUEST RELATIONS. 3:30 HOURS HAVE PASSED BY AND HERE I AM STILL SITTING BY THE SIDE OF A DANGEROUS BUSY HIGHWAY STARVING AND THIRSTY IN A 95 DEGREES SUMMER DAY AND TOYOTA HAS NOT STILL DO THE BEST THEY CAN TO TAKE ME OUT OF THIS SITUATION. A BRAND NEW $38,000 TRUCK THAT I HAVEN?T EVEN MAKE THE FIRST PAYMENT IS STUCK IN THE ROAD. MY TRUST AND LOVE FOR THE BRAND AND ITS SERVICES HAS BEEN LOST. HOW CAN I TRUST TO DRIVE MY FAMILY SAFE THINKING IN THE BACK OF MY HEAD THAT THIS CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN? VALLEY TOWING 24HR IS FINALLY HERE TO PICK UP THE TRUCK AT 4:30PM ALMOST 4 HOURS AFTER I MADE MY FIRST CALL TO TOYOTA ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. 3 DAYS HAS PASSED BY AND THEY STILL HAVE THE TRUCK IN THE DEALER NOT KNOWING WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 TOYOTA TACOMA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS FAILED TO REMAIN IN PLACE AND WOULD INDEPENDENTLY TURN INWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CONICELLI TOYOTA OF SPRINGFIELD (860 BALTIMORE PIKE, SPRINGFIELD, PA 19064, (484) 479-2410), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,800. *TT

A MONTH AFTER I LEASE THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY AFTER WORK.
